“The health care plan House Republicans just passed is a gut punch to people
all across Connecticut and our country. Millions could lose insurance, people
with pre-existing conditions are put at risk, and Americans will pay more for
less coverage – all in exchange for big tax breaks to the very wealthy. That’s
wrong.

“But that’s not all that’s wrong with this bill. Women’s health care is under
assault too – access to essential services for reproductive health, maternal
health and child services - because of defunding Planned Parenthood. And this
bill would mean cuts in the state’s Medicaid funding, devastating Connecticut’s
budget at the worst possible time. This fight isn’t over and I look to the
Senate to stop this bill.”
